Commuters at the Metro-North station in Fairfield battled bitter cold and frozen conditions Monday following a snowstorm that left several inches on the ground.
Temperatures took a plunge overnight causing the fallen snow to become hardened and slick.
Black ice is a major concern for some commuters both traveling to the station and walking to the platform.
Sunday s storm comes just a week after the region was slammed with a classic nor easter that dropped over a foot of snow in some parts of Connecticut.
News 12 meteorologists say the snowy period is not over yet, and that there are four more chances of snow over the next several days including Tuesday morning when between 2 and 4 inches of snow could fall.

Eagle Scout Creates a Buzz at the Fairfield Museum and History Center Written by BS Troop 90
Fairfield, CT - BSA Troop 90 is pleased to announce its latest Eagle Scout, Adam Jehle!
For Adam’s Eagle Scout Project, he created a garden at the Fairfield Museum and History Center, along with support from Troop 90 and the Sasqua Garden Club. Inspired by the plight of endangered bee populations, Adam decided to plant a pollinator garden to help them out. “My project really helped me understand the declining bee population crisis and find effective ways to help the environment,” said Adam. “I’m glad I was able to complete this project with the Boy Scouts, since they are an organization who has taught me many things over the years.”
Connecticut saw more than a foot of snow in some areas overnight Wednesday into Thursday as a norâeaster slammed the region.
Gov. Ned Lamont said Thursday morning, depending on what part of the state you live in, about 8 to 14 inches fell across Connecticut.
By noon the snow had ended across Connecticut.
Connecticut officials have asked residents to remain off the roads as crews continue to work on clearing the snow that has fallen and is being blown around by gusty winds.
Hereâs the latest information on the storm:
